Pets for Adoption [Pictures]

Tuscany, who is about 9-years-old, is a special cat for a special home. She has flea allergies, which have caused some of her hair to fall out. But keeping up with her monthly flea preventative should resolve this. She was found July 26 in Glen Burnie wearing a green collar but no owners have come forward to reclaim her. Volunteers describe her as â¿¿very, very sweet and very loving.â¿ She is sponsored, which means someone has pre-paid her adoption fees so she would be free to an approved adopter. She is already spayed, so can go home immediately with her approved family. Please stop by Anne Arundel County Animal Control if you think Tuscany may be the cat for you. - Original Credit:

Tanner had a potential adopter last week who thought he was just great, but said she decided not to take him because he did NOT bark. Tanner, a 21-pound neutered Pomeranian mix, is a loving, gentle fellow who enjoys sitting on laps and playing with squeaky toys, which he likes to retrieve. He walks well on a leash and is plenty active, especially given that heâ¿¿s thought to be about 13-years-old. He was a stray who has been with us since Aug. 18. If you are interested in adopting Tanner please come meet him at Anne Arundel County Animal Control. - Original Credit:
